    I live in the townland of Cornagrove in the parish of Denn. There are eight families in the townland and there are about thirty two people in it. The most common family name is Coote. Slated houses are most common. There are not any old people over seventy living there.
    The houses were more numerous in former times, but there are not many ruins. Some people went to America and Australia from there.
    The townland is not mentioned in any song or saying. The land is hilly but good. There is no wood in it. There is a lake in it called "Cornagrove" and it is said that people drew turf across it with a horse and cart when there was ice on it. There is a river flowing by our fields into the lake.
